Mathematical aspects of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic. Some reflections after 40 years (Q812585)

This survey paper considers some of the main trends of the development of mathematical fuzzy logic and of formalized fuzzy set theory. In four decades of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, the last one has seen a tremendous wealth of new and important approaches and results which paved the way for the future success. Especiall BL-algebras, introduced by P. Hájek, brought a qualitative jump in the fuzzy logic theory and they have initiated several new streams of research. Some important open problems for further research are mentioned in the concluding remarks of this interesting paper that is worth reading for any scientist interested in logic, artificial intelligence or soft computing.
